Alex Blok

Hi,

I'm Alex, I am 18 and from Croydon. I have just finished at school and wanted a life changing experience on my gap year and going to India with Gap Guru seemed the perfect way to achieve this.

I'm Here

Alex Blok: Gap Year Images Landing in India was an experience in itself. After going through immigration it was off to collect my bag, or so I thought. It was a good hour before i managed to spot my huge rucksack and even then i had to barge through the hundreds of people waiting around the collection point to get to it.

First Day At School

Alex Blok: Gap Year Images Been here for 3 days now and the biggest culture shock was today when i went to the school. All the children are from underprivaleged backgrounds and are so keen to learn but the equipment they have is so limited.

Teaching At The School

Alex Blok: Gap Year Images
Finished my first full day of teaching at school today and it was tough, i have a newfound respect for the teachers who taught me! Firstly i taught the youngest people at the school aged 6-7(class 1) who knew very little english so I taught them the numbers 1 to 20 and some very basic words such as 'sun' 'tree' 'stars' etc.
